Error using Bing Maps Hybrid

Question

This was working at some point and now isn't.  I am not sure if it broke the same time that I upgraded to ArcGIS for Silverlight 1.0.1

I can create and publish a map in arcgis.com using Bing Maps Hybrid as a base layer.

When I use that map to create a map in Silverlight, I get an error on loading:

Error initializing layer: Bing Maps Hybrid

With the details:
Credentials are either invalid or unspecified.
   at ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer.OnInitializationFailed(EventArgs e)
   at ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer.Initialize()
   at ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.TileLayer.imageryService_GetImageryMetadataCompleted(Object sender, GetImageryMetadataCompletedEventArgs e)
   at ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.ImageryService.ImageryServiceClient.OnGetImageryMetadataCompleted(Object state)

Also, I notice in the list of basemaps available, there are no Bing ones.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I am working on publishing a cemetery map that would pretty much requires the aerial on it for readability.

Thanks!

Perfect!

Thank you very much.  Quite easy when you know where to go.

It is working perfectly now.  Again, I appreciate the assistance.

bretHi Bret,

Thanks for the info, and the blog post, I had missed that and it clarified things for me.

I have obtained a Bing Maps key.

I am having trouble finding specifics on how to implement it.

I am presuming that I edit a config file in my silverlight app?

Any resources to point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks.Hi Bret,

If you don't have an ArcGIS Server license, you will have to contact Microsoft directly to obtain a Bing Maps key.

FYI, please review this blog post for additional background info: 
Changes to Bing Maps token key

Or, I suppose you could switch your application to use a different basemap service, like World Imagery service.

Hope this helps,
